Providers that have been allocated a payment must sign an attestation confirming receipt of the funds and agree to the Terms and Conditions within 90 days of payment. In accordance with the Terms and Conditions, if you believe you have received an overpayment and expect that you will have cumulative lost revenues and increased costs that are attributable to coronavirus during the COVID-19 public health emergency that exceed the intended calculated payment, then you may keep the payment.
If a provider does not have or anticipate having these types of COVID-19-related eligible expenses or lost revenues equal to or in excess of the Provider Relief Fund payment received, it should reject the payment in Provider Relief Fund Attestation Portal or the Provider Relief Fund Application and Attestation Portal and return the entire payment. Please call the Provider Support Line at (866) 569-3522 (for TYY, dial 711) for step-by-step instructions on returning the payment and receive the correct payment when relevant.
